After clearing out my comments box, which was full of the usual Viagra, penis extensions and information about sex etc…..I suddenly wondered….’Who are you all?’

.

Writing this blog is a bit like sending out probes into space and hoping for contact with another life form.

.

I know that a lot of you read my prattling, but you all do so like a sequestered order of nuns or monks….in silence.

.

Why don’t some of you presumably normal folks write to me sometimes and give me some feedback on something or other.

There must be something in here that you have an opinion about.

So why don’t you write to me.

.

I am assuming that most of you have not removed your appendages for aesthetic reasons.

You cannot all have disabling rheumatism of the fingers.

Or some kind of Internet agoraphobia, where you can only make contact if you are in a cupboard wearing clean white mittens and using a torch while listening to Castrati singing

.

I have been assiduously writing to you every day now for about 18 months, except for a couple of occasions of being unable to access broadband, and I am getting a tad bored.

.

The only real person who makes real contact intermittently is Nelly….and thank God that she does….at least she lets me know that there is really life out there somewhere, quite apart from the fact that she seems like fun.

.

So, not got anything more to say right now ‘cos I need to go and talk to someone just to make sure that I am really real.
